A MAN drove 160 miles with a live WWII hand grenade in his car. Philip Pegg found the device while clearing out his aunt's house in Reigate, Surrey. He then drove home to Crich in Derbyshire and dialled 999. Bomb disposal experts...
CONFUSION IN THE BACK SEAT MY usual taxi driver was on holiday this week, but while we waited for the traffic lights the new man said: "Are you a Christian?" He followed it up with: "What sort of Christian then? Born-again, lapsed, regular, Protestant, Catholic, convinced or simply...
John McCain admits that the Republican Congress and president have failed the American people, but he asks us to elect him as a candidate of "change," who will use the exact same policies to clean up the mess he created. I guess his definition of a...
